Outline Definition Justification Ileus Pain
Outline Specifics Data BMC Data Worldwide Data Implementation
What is ERAS? AKA Fast-track or ERP Developed by Kehlet in Denmark in colonic surgery Gradually has gained world-wide acceptance Originally described in Open Surgery but same advantages seem to apply for Laparoscopy Gustafsson/Scott
Goal of ERAS Implement a standardized, patient centered protocol. Integrate the pre-operative, intra-operative, post-operative and post-discharges phases of care to reduce LOS. Improve patient experience and satisfaction and decrease variability.

Factors Influencing Patient Recovery
Benefits 44
Example of Enhanced Recovery Elements Referral from Primary Care Optimised health / medical condition Informed decision making Pre operative health & risk assessment PT information and expectation managed DX planning (EDD) Pre-operative therapy instruction as appropriate Optimising pre operative haemoglobin levels Managing pre existing co morbidities e.g. diabetes Pre- Operativ e Admissio n Minimally invasive surgery Use of transverse incisions (abdominal) No NG tube (bowel surgery) Use of regional / LA with sedation Epidural management (inc thoracic) Optimised fluid management Individualised goal directed fluid therapy Admission on day Optimised Fluid Hydration CHO Loading Reduced starvation No / reduced oral bowel preparation ( bowel surgery) Intra- Operative DX when criteria met Therapy support (stoma, physio) 24hr telephone follow up Planned mobilisation Rapid hydration & nourishment Appropriate IV therapy No wound drains No NG (bowel surgery) Catheters removed early Regular oral analgesia Paracetamol and NSAIDS Avoidance of systemic opiate-based analgesia where possible or administered topically Post- Operativ e Follow Up 45

Bend Memorial Clinic Study Retrospective Review BMC is a multi-specialty clinic with over 80 providers and 5 general surgeons Data collected from 2009 - early 2012 Extensive chart review
Data 37 pts in Entereg group 44 pts in control group No hand assisted cases All done by board certified surgeons Mix of right and left colon resections
Alvimopan Group N=37 Average age 61.5 range 33-93 Ave length of stay 4.24 days range 3-6 Ave time to first BM 2.62 days range 1-5 No SAEs in this group
Control Group N=44 Ave. age 64.02 range 33-85 Ave. length of stay 4.84 days range 3-8 Ave. time to first BM 3.57 days range 2 to 6 No SAEs in this group One pt. excluded from this group.
Length of Stay Length of stay decreased 4.81 to 4.25 P value is 0.0075 Statistically significant difference
